Hi! I’m Swathi, a freshman at Energy Institute High School who specializes in Lincoln Douglas debate. I’ve made it into deep elimination rounds in many tournaments starting from middle school. I was a quarter-finalist in my NSDA state tournament and broke into NSDA nationals. I love debate because it’s a good opportunity to improve on various skills, including communication, leadership, and critical thinking. Debate has allowed me to gain perspective on our world in many different ways. As the Director of Publicity, I’m excited to increase awareness about Outreach for greater access to debate resources.
